CLOONEY'S DARFUR REFUGEES KILLED AS GENOCIDE REACHES A NEW HIGH

The refugee camps that featured in GEORGE CLOONEY's Darfur documentary earlier this year (06) have been destroyed as the civil war atrocities in The Sudan reach appalling new levels. Clooney and his father NICK visited the war-torn region and shot footage of the desperation there in a bid to help boost the Save Darfur campaign. The Clooneys interviewed several refugees, who told them all about the terrible conditions they are force to live under - and now the movie star has learned that many of those who spoke to him have been killed. He says, "We've got a lot of work to do in Darfur. Nothing has changed. In fact, in the place we had gotten into (the Darfur refugee camps) everybody's been killed. "You talk to the under secretary of the UN (United Nations) and you talk to anybody over there at the UN and they all agree it's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. I don't quite understand that." But Clooney refuses to point the finger of blame, accepting it's a very difficult issue to resolve: "You can't go in barrelling with bombs or guns because we can't attack the government of Sudan. "What it really requires is some sort of political discussion with these people, and, since we don't do business with them, we need help from China, Egypt, Russia."
